To find out, I need to know which atom is concerned. Could you please  
re-run those few lines and after the crash type

	import pdb
	pdb.pm()
	p self

Basically, there are two possibilities:
- The atom is part of a standard nucleic acid. Then something is  
missing in the MMTK database, and I would have to fix it.
- The atom is part of some molecule that is not in the MMTK database.  
You would then have to create a corresponding database entry and put  
the Amber parameters there.
